oh, super… VERY early puberty

Shaver? I had Earl figured for a Dollar Shave Club kind of guy.

Probably has a safety razor. He is of that generation. Hubby uses one.

I started getting hair on my chest at fifteen. I showed my older, married brother. He said that he had some too, but he keeps them worn off.

My first-born grew hair everywhere right after he was born. This included his face and forehead. For a short time he looked like a little werewolf. I thought it was cute.

Then that hair died back and the normal areas kept growing.

Wishful wondering.

Don’t be in such a hurry to grow up, kid! It’s not all it’s cracked up to be!

In fact, don’t grow up…it’s a trap!

Being the sort of anal-retentive personality that I am, I must come to Earl’s defense here. Back in the day, one shaved with a razor (straight or safety) or an electric “shaver” (how well I remember my father’s old Remington Rand; it sounded as loud and much like a badly tuned motorcycle and the lights dimmed slightly when he turned it on).

Oh yes, this brings back memories of waiting for hair down there!

Only endocrine distruptors could cause that.

Lend him the razor. Get it right.
